However, the more general formulation is expensive and unwieldy, and is thus rarely applied to gambling impacts or impact analyses in general. I-O models emphasize economic ...

In layman’s terms, this consists of placing the causal factors and results of separate studies into one large data pool and performing a statistical synthesis of it. The statistical technique...

Some econometric models are conjoined with an I-O model or use I-O table data to enhance sectoral delineation (see, e.g., =-=Treyz, 1993-=-; Hewings et al., 1996). Econometric models are typically more expensive than I-O, which limits their use. For example, Regional Economic Models, Inc. (REMI) sells models for states or county grouping...

More controversial are the costs of increased crime and crime prevention in casino neighborhoods and even in adjacent communities (=-=Friedman et al., 1989-=-). The cost of criminal activity or its prevention are significant, though the statistics do not look quite as bad when they are tourist adjusted. Aside from the statistics is the generally held belie...

This is not to deny the existence of a strong correlation or...

...ions in other realms of their lives? Over time, analysts have become conscious of an increasing number of these factors. More of them have been incorporated in the studies in recent years (see, e.g., =-=Thompson et al., 1995-=-; Leven and Phares, 1997). What is important, however, is not just the conceptual inclusion of the factors but the collection of data that enables us to make credible estimates for individual cases an...

...s climate (Dimanche and Speyrer, 1996). While some emphasize that gambling is highly profitable, others have pointed out that, at the same time, it represents “a highly regressive industrial policy” (=-=Goodman, 1995-=-), or “a repeated failure of national urban policy” (Perniciario, 1995). Still others have stated that its “reputation as a panacea for prosperity is exaggerated” (Jinkner-Lloyd, 1996). A. Purpose Man...

Several studies (see, e.g., =-=Gazel et al., 1996-=-) have indicated that gambling taxes are regressive, primarily because they investigated a patron profile in Illinois that was skewed greatly toward low incomes. These studies are implicitly balanced ...
